Clint's POV

"Found it!" I called out as Cap landed the jet.

I looked over and saw him pull a suitcase full of money out of a compartment on the floor. I mentally thanked Tony for being so wealthy.

"Yay!" Scott exclaimed.

I sighed, if it wasn't for his distraction during the fight that allowed Bucky, Courtney, and me to get away, I would have kicked him off our jet by now.

He's even more annoying than Tony.

I looked to the side and saw Courtney sleeping, her mouth open and drool dripping down her chin.

I smirked.

"Oh wow. I'm never forgetting this." Clint said, laughing.

"She's going to be so mad." Sam chuckled.

"You guys better not say anything." Wanda warned as she used her powers to get the drool off of Courtney's face and close her mouth.

"I don't know if we can do that." Clint said.

"You better."

I walked over to Courtney and stared at her for a moment before looking back at everyone else.

"How do I wake her up? Do I just say her name or...?" I asked.

"Just poke her or something." Clint told me.

I looked at Courtney and frowned. How could I just poke her? She was sleeping.

I backed up and looked at Clint, "You do it."

He laughed, "Captain America can't even wake up his own kid?"

"Clint." I warned.

He kept laughing as he walked over and stood in front of Courtney before pausing. He stood there and stared at her.

"Jeez, this is harder than it looks." He admitted.

"You guys! Come on." Sam smirked walking over to Courtney.

We looked at him expectantly as his hand hovered over Courtney's shoulder.

He glared before huffing and walking away, "Stupid teenagers." He muttered.

"I cannot believe you guys." Scott said, walking over and grabbing Courtney's arm.

Her eyes popped open and she lurched up, grabbing his elbow and slamming him into the far wall. He cried out as she twisted it inward.

"Courtney!" I yelled, running forward and grabbing her arm.

She grabbed my wrist and flipped me onto my back. I gasped as the air was knocked out of my lungs, but caught her fist before it smashed into my face.

She paused, staring into my eyes.

I felt her fist stop pushing and I looked back, seeing Wanda holding out her hands, red energy swirling around them. I turned back to the teen on top of me.

"Courtney?" I asked.

"Mission report, December 3rd, 2012, Brazil: Rerun data analysis on meiosis. Blood level -2.3 out of 10. Subject health rates declining. Reactivate carbofaults. Carbofaults reactivated. Download complete. Mission successful. Blood level 5 out of 10. Estimated regeneration time, 14 hours. Data analysis complete. Subject transfer commencing in 15 hours." She said in a robotic tone.

Suddenly her entire body tensed as she fell over and I got up, laying her on her back.

Courtney's chest started jerking and I panicked, forgetting what to do.
